As a member of the Skills Builder Partnership, you have access to tools and resources to build essential skills. You will explore these further in the first Skills Leader Training Day. In the meantime, you can find an overview below.
Universal Framework
What? The Skills Builder Universal Framework shows how to build essential skills at every stage of life. Each of the eight essential skills is defined and broken down into sixteen teachable steps.
Who? For learners of all ages and abilities, teachers, support staff and school leaders.

Our Six Principles of best practice are used to guide and measure the impact of your setting's programme. They will be referred to throughout your Accelerator programme, especially during your Planning Meetings, and Skills Leader Training Days.
